time (08/30)

i've finally noticed that the clock on the capital is much like the pivotal clock tower in "back to the future" - stuck at one time that is correct only twice a day. which leads to me the beautiful day that awaited me after getting a full night sleep and waking up with the sunrise. a sunrise that is at the correct time for my body clock. typically by this time of year i'm really protesting getting up as it's still dark outside.

let's face it world...i'm an owl and not a lark. i'm the first to admit it.

so when the time changes in the fall, i am - for a couple of weeks - happy to get out of bed and feel refreshed. there is something for that piece of happiness. it makes the days so much better.

today's gratitude - i'm thankful for that wonderful feeling of getting enough sleep and having the right attitude for getting back to work. i'm grateful for the change in time that gives me a great way to wake up in the morning - that beautiful rose colored light. it's small, but so very important.

it was nice to get another hour of sleep, and wake up when it was SLIGHTLY less dark (i get up very early). but i kind of want it all -- i'll take the sun and dawn, and at dusk. i love it in the summer when it is light out until 8:30 pm. i think i want it all. and half the time i'd rather be hibernating! bhahaha! such a mess! :)

Char, I've always loved the time change for exactly the same reasoning. I woke this morning at 6:30!!!! (without a job I've become a late late sleeper) Thanks to the sun, I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed today as well.

My favorite times of the year are the few weeks of early morning sunlight after the fall time change and the few weeks of early morning sunlight before the time change in spring.

I have to agree with you! Love the light in the morning...but I hate that it is now only 5PM and totally dark! Just a little while ago I would just be starting out on a walk at this time...I won't go in the dark...

Beautiful image! I've been trying to accept the darker afternoons by turning all the lights in the house on at 4:00 pm and making sure I get out as early in the am as possible... but I still miss light evenings!

I wish I was a wake up at sunrise kind of girl, but, sigh....I am just not. But the pictures I could take! I will have to yank myself off the pillows one of these days just to capture the beauty of that first light....perhaps when there is a frost.
